    Let's step into the future...

    Broner vs Matthysse
    Good comeback fight for both fighters. Similar style for Broner to see if he can deal with a pressure power puncher. Plus they are both coming off losses.

    Matthysse will probably end Broner's career if this fight happened

      He just got knocked down twice by a sloppier puncher in Maidana. Matthysse throws straighter punches and is more economical, likely punches as hard as Maidana but because he's so patient and more of a stalker, who is rarely hurt or KD'ed(Garcia was first KD?), he will end up being tougher than Maidana. And i'm not even saying Matt is better than Maidana, I just mean vs Broner, Matthysse could end up doing even better than Maidana.

      If you are Broner's team and want to build him up again while doing against respectable gatekeepers/journeymen, you should look for fighters like Judah, Soto-Karass, Aydin, Josesito Lopez.

        Broner doesn't have a jab and prefers short shots. There is no way he beats Matthysse, Matty has a tight d and has shown good fundamentals with catching shots and delivering back.

        They should pit him with Josesito Lopez, should be a win for Broner and Lopez gets another paycheck. Judah would be acceptable.

          And even then, Lopez isn't even an easy fight. I wouldn't be comfortable betting on Broner to beat Lopez after seeing him against Quintero, Rees, PDL, Malignaggi and Maidana. Lopez is not just a guy who's coming for a pay check, he's going to fight and he has a lot of fight in him. In fact despite him fighting for only 6 rounds against Maidana to Broner's 12 rounds, Lopez did considerably more damage to Maidana than Broner did. He really hurt Maidana and had him looking nervous and backing up in a couple of rounds. But Maidana is a machine, he always comes back.

            mathysse would do a serious number on him. broner's not shy though. it wouldn't shock me at all if he chose matthysse but, realistically speaking, i doubt his handlers put him in there with someone as dangerous as matthysse.

                Broner would outbox Matthysse he too slick and skilled for that face first brawler. Easy work for AB.

                  I've heard this before. Look at what happened.
